TONY JONES, PRESENTER: The FBI has released chilling video footage of the gunman who killed 12 people during a shooting rampage at a Washington, D.C. naval base.

34-year-old Aaron Alexis calmly entering the complex using the security pass issued to him as an IT contractor.

The images show him stalking the corridors armed with a shotgun.

The FBI has also released pictures of the weapon Alexis used during the shooting which they say shows the evidence of his mental health issues.

VALERIE PARLAVE, FBI: Handwritten etchings were present on various parts of the shotgun. Etched into the barrel of the shotgun were the words, "End to the torment!"

TONY JONES: The shooting has led to questions about how Alexis was granted a special security clearance and has prompted calls to review the Government vetting process.
